- Waiting for the bus to the Magic Kingdom to arrive. The time was pushed back a few minutes as we sat there.
- Almost here.. we ended up waiting a good 25 minutes from when we first walked up till boarding.
- Arrived at the Magic Kingdom an hour after I took that picture of the Disney Springs Marketplace boat dock.
- Santa was on break here too.
- Only 15 days till Christmas
- The Festival of Fantasy Parade was making its way around Town Square, so I was stuck unless I wanted to walk all the way around.
- This sums up my luck this afternoon. No one looking at me for a picture.
- After the parade the Dapper Dans came out to perform.
- Several video clips of the Dapper Dans performing their Christmas set.
- Time to head to Fort Wilderness. It was 4:02 and dinner reservations at 5pm at Trails End.
- A lot of guests arriving at the Magic Kingdom, it was a party night (as were most of the nights we were there).
- Same from the ferry boat side.
- The sun starting to set.
- Another full ferry arriving.
- Launches arriving, one for Fort Wilderness and one for Wilderness Lodge at 4:15pm
- 4:40pm and we are just casting off. Mechanical problems on the boat took it out of commission then had to wait for the next one to show up.
- Traffic on the roads was still backed up, it had been that way all day.
- A look at the Copper Creek Villas & Cabins at Disneys Wilderness Lodge taking shape along the shores of Bay Lake.
- Still a ways to go on most of them.
- The new restaurant on the shore of Bay Lake.
- Passing by the former River Country area.
- The shoe tree
- A long line of guests, all the way off the dock waiting for our boat to arrive so they can head to the Magic Kingdom.
- The beach here has had rocks and fencing installed too.
- The original launch had been placed back into service and it was not far behind us.
- As we were exiting the dock a look back at the long line of guests.
- Reached Fort Wilderness at 4:56pm
- Always interesting to see the golf carts decorated.
- Arrived at Trails End at 4:59pm.. a minute to spare :)
- A quick look around the buffet this evening.. starting with the desserts.
- Warm corn bread.. one of my favorites.
- Dinner rolls too tonight (do not recall those before).
- There is more than just desserts, it just is not as interesting..
- No fried chicken wings or breasts tonight, which was very disappointing.
- A hayride getting ready to depart. It was 5:56pm and I decided to try and make the 6:45pm Jingle Bell, Jingle Bam! show at the studios.
- Interesting no Typhoon Lagoon buses.. instead you have to transfer at Disney Springs.
- My bus pulling up to the Outpost Depot at 6:13pm
